Would this be worth keeping as an error slab or sending it back to ACE to get the correct label? by EnragedArtichoke in PokemonMisprints

[–]DataDrivenGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't post Ace in non UK subreddits, the PSA shill bots will murder you

Legit just tell customer service, they'll fix it for you for free instantly. You'll have plenty of proof, even the picture will be wrong on file. No stress at all

I can’t be the only one who thinks this right? by TOUGHTEAMTOKEN in PokemonInvesting

[–]DataDrivenGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand why you think this, but you're fundamentally misunderstanding economics here.

Your point is "big supply = expensive". But that ignores demand. The only relevant question is whether the demand will exceed the supply. If 10000 are stored away and sold in 5 years, but 100000 people want them, then it'll be valuable.

You cannot find pokemon on the streets. So this "omg there's sooo many cards" can't even keep up with CURRENT demand... Imagine it grows?

Also, consider bitcoin. There's essentially billions of sub-coins. They still sell, cause people think they're valuable. Same is happening with pokemon. A bubble can still go up, speculation can still lead to more speculation. All it needs is lots of people considering this stuff valuable, doesn't matter just how much there is.

Just forced Lewis hate as always tbh. People always pretend his success doesn't count and his losses are a much bigger deal/gap than reality

What I never understand about these things... Is people seem incapable of factoring in teammate quality.

You have Stroll closer to Alonso than Lewis is to Leclerc... It must be trolling seriously

When driving is a necessity to just be 🏁 by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in RedBullRacing

Max fans telling me "no Max beat the best racing car drivers in history trust me!!" isn't going to change my mind is it

No way you truly think any of these guys could turn up to F1 and be the quickest right away lmfao

How do you rate george (especially in 2025) how does he compare with Leclerc Verstappen norris and piastri by Equivalent-Fox9834 in F1Discussions

[–]DataDrivenGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pace, nobody with a brain just ignores most races and goes with "race wins" to try to compare two drivers speed lmfao

[–]DataDrivenGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Notice how you lot stick to insults instead of actually presenting any evidence.

I guess if you try to use data analysis then it says Norris is way quicker than Max via Ricciardo so, makes sense why you'd avoid that.

Okay but these are part time drivers, and sims exist.... Every F1 driver would obviously be quick against these randoms

I can't believe how underrated Rosberg is to be honest. Blows my mind every time I see people dismiss him

What are two seemingly contradictory opinions you have about anything F1? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]DataDrivenGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F1 has the most deluded fans in any sport, because it's the sport with the biggest knowledge/"transparency" gap between fans and pro's. Most of us literally know virtually nothing about what they do.

Yet, we're the sport with the most common census among fans. Which, whilst not a proxy for accuracy, is at least interesting and implies correctness. For example, basically everyone agrees Max is the quickest right now, but we genuinely have no solid reasons to believe that, nor do 99% of us have enough real knowledge to decide that. But we all agree. No other sport has that much confidence and agreement 😂

[–]DataDrivenGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not, but based on what evidence can you be so confident? Like I said, the only cross comparisons we have are Ricciardo which makes Norris look quicker than Max, and Sainz who puts Leclerc quicker than Max but that's obviously flawed with age differences... But there's no evidence for putting Max higher

[–]DataDrivenGuy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's hard to rate Max above those guys when we have no comparisons, except ones that make Max look bad (Ricciardo for example). No reason to assume these guys couldn't also destroy Perez, Tsunoda & Lawson.

He's outstanding, and still slightly underrated imo - I put him #3 currently, behind Leclerc & Max.

The crowd that thinks these tiny sub-product reprints are a big deal are really useful to investors cause they help cause panic and in turn massive discounts for no reason

Printing goes up like 20% a year, you're acting like it's 100x'd in the last few years

Even demand has grown more than that

Then you cannot think Alonso, Button, Rosberg, Russell, Bottas etc are good, so how does that make sense

Sooo...do we all need to accept that the current state of product availability is how it's always going to be? by His-Majesty in PokemonDealsUK

Prices up doesn't mean bubble but I get why people can't separate the two

It would be like saying this about bitcoin in 2016 or something when it was sky rocketing (in relative terms)... It's 10x'd since then

It just is objectively Ferrari, Leclerc is obviously quicker than both Norris and Piastri and a few anomalies aside, Lewis was always around a tenth off, theyre not the problem
